George Nobechi – Moments of Serenity: Usa and Japan

The United States of America and Japan, once enemies, now allies, are known for different types of scenery. We associate America with grand landscapes and Japan with small temples and gardens, but we can find quiet moments in both. In the troubled times in which we live, it is important to be able to find moments of serenity no matter where we are.

George Nobechi is a Tokyo-born photographer. He graduated from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver with a Bachelor of Arts (Honors) in History/International Relations. In 2008 he embarked in a solo journey around the world in order to find peace with the early death of his father. It was at this time that his interest in photography began.
